The derby of the 14th round of the English Premier League brings us a match in which Manchester City will host Tottenham. After three weeks at the top of the Premier League, reigning champions Man City surrendered the top spot to Arsenal after back-to-back draws in their last two league games against Chelsea and Liverpool. In their last Champions League match against Leipzig, they won 3-2 after trailing 2-0 at half-time. With a draw against Liverpool in the last round, they ended their 23-game winning streak at home and I'm sure they will be very keen to start that streak again. Inexplicably, City stopped playing in the second half and handed the full initiative to Liverpool, who took advantage of it. Knowing Guardiola, I believe that this will not be the case in this match and that City will be maximally concentrated during the entire 90 minutes. They enter this duel as favorites because of the quality they possess, as well as the fact that Tottenham has a large number of very important injured players. Tottenham were sitting nicely at the top of the Premier League table after 10 games, following a rather surprising but extremely successful start to the season. However, November proved to be a month to forget for Ange Postecoglou's side as they suffered three straight defeats and lost several key players to injury, disrupting their season. This match could not have come at a worse time, because it is evident that they are, quite justifiably, in a decline in form. Bentancur, Maddison, Romero, van de Ven and Perisic will not be available, which is really a huge blow for Tottenham. Tottenham does not give up its style of play, which is very fast and attacking, but it leaves too much space for the opponents to create their own chances. Postecoglou could insist on Emerson Royal and Ben Davies as centre-backs, with Dier helping, but I honestly don't think those are the players who can stop City's attacks, at least not in those positions. I believe that we are in for a very open match, with a lot of goals, but because of all the above, I give the advantage to City and I expect them to achieve a convincing victory.

在英超联赛第14轮的德比中，曼城将主场迎战热刺。在连续三周位居英超榜首之后，卫冕冠军曼城在最近两场联赛中接连战平切尔西和利物浦，将榜首位置拱手让给了阿森纳。在上一场欧冠对阵莱比锡的比赛中，他们在半场落后2-0的情况下以3-2获胜。在上一轮战平利物浦后，他们结束了主场的23连胜，我相信他们会非常渴望再次开始连胜。令人费解的是，曼城在下半场停止了比赛，把全部主动权交给了利物浦，后者利用了这个机会。我知道瓜迪奥拉，我相信在这场比赛中不会出现这种情况，曼城将在整个90分钟内集中精力。由于他们的实力，以及热刺有大量重要的受伤球员，他们被认为是这场对决的热门。托特纳姆热刺在10场比赛后稳居英超积分榜榜首，本赛季的开局相当出人意料，但却非常成功。然而，对于波斯特科格洛的球队来说，11月被证明是一个被遗忘的月份，他们遭遇了三连败，并且失去了几名关键球员，打乱了他们的赛季。这场比赛来得不是时候，因为很明显，他们的状态在下降，这是完全可以理解的。本坦库尔、麦迪森、罗梅罗、范德文和佩里西奇将无法上场，这对热刺来说是一个巨大的打击。热刺并没有放弃快攻的打法，但这给对手创造机会的空间太大了。波斯特科格洛可以坚持让埃默森-罗亚尔和本-戴维斯出任中后卫，而迪尔可以起到帮助作用，但老实说，我不认为这些球员能够阻止曼城的进攻，至少在这些位置上是这样。我相信我们将迎来一场非常开放的比赛，会有很多进球，但鉴于以上种种，我认为曼城占据优势，我希望他们能取得令人信服的胜利。
